Boy George and Culture Club release new song ‘God & Love’

The group have sold more than 150 million records worldwide since 1981

By Steve Brown

Boy George and Culture Club have released a brand new single ‘God & Love’.

The new single – which was produced by Future Cut – is the opening track on the band’s first album in 20 years ‘LIFE’, which is set to be released on October 26.

Speaking about the new single, Boy George said: “I think of both love and spirituality as things that must be done. It’s no good saying you love someone if you never express it with actions and the same applies to God/spirituality.

“Don’t be one of those people who go around thanking the universe and spouting spiritual gobble-dee-gook when you don’t have a spiritual bone in your body.

“The song is a call to action. Show me your love and actually do something spiritual and inspiring!”

After forming back in 1981, the group have sold more than 150 million records worldwide and was the first multi-racial band with an openly gay frontman.

The group reformed back in 2014 and played to more than 500,000 people in the US and are now bringing the ‘The Life Tour’ to UK arenas in November.

The Life Tour: starring Boy George & Culture Club will also feature 80’s pop sweetheart Belinda Carlisle and new wave, synth pop artist Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, the tour will visit 11 cities across the UK starting in Nottingham on November 9 through to November 23.

“We put together an amazing show that is going to be filled with hits and fabulous memories,” says Boy George.
